#436: Books I've Loved — Maria Popova and Tyler
Cowen | Brought to you
by Audible.
Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it
is my job to sit down with world-class performers of all
different types—from startup founders and investors to chess
champions to Olympic athletes. This episode, however, is an
experiment and part of a shorter series I’m doing called “Books
I’ve Loved.” I’ve invited some amazing past guests,
close friends, and new faces to share their favorite books—the
books that have influenced them, changed them, and transformed
them for the better. I hope you pick up one or two
new mentors—in the form of books—from this new series and apply
the lessons in your own life.
Maria Popova (@brainpicker) is a reader and
a writer who writes about what she reads on Brain
Pickings, which is included in the Library of Congress
permanent web archive of culturally valuable materials. She is
the author of Figuring, the editor of A Velocity
of Being: Letters to a Young Reader, and the creator
and host of The Universe in Verse, an annual charitable
celebration of science through poetry at the interdisciplinary
cultural center Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
Tyler Cowen (@tylercowen) has a
personal moonshot: to teach economics to more people than anyone
else in the history of the world—and he might just succeed. In
addition to his regular teaching at George Mason University,
Tyler has blogged every day at Marginal
Revolution for almost 17 years,
helping to make it one of the most widely read economics blogs in
the world. Tyler cocreated Marginal Revolution University, a
free online economics education platform that’s reached millions.
He is also a bestselling author of more than a dozen books,
a regular Bloomberg columnist, and host of the
popular Conversations with Tyler podcast.
